It is getting REALLY NASTY out there (GD)

[Tyler Durden]

Just when I think I've made some more progress away from being the arrogant judgmental prick I used to be, I meet me from the past.

Was I EVER that nasty? CRIPES. I go in and espouse a "No hate speech from either end" position, and I get people DEFENDING their right to cast aspersion.

If I ever did that to any of you, I sure apologize. My IGNORE list got a real workout over the last 24 hours.

1. How do they feel about casting asparagus?

:hide:

No, you aren't nasty. At least I've never seen it. :hug:

2. Thanks.

But I know for a fact over the last 6 years I've done more than MY share of pissing in GD.

I have GOT to swear off that place, but I really felt the point was important to make.

12. AspargaPEE

The after affects........:rofl: :rofl: :hi:

3. What's the subject matter of debate(sic)?

President of Iran?
Hillary?
Moveon.org?
How many licks does it take to reach the end of a tootsie roll?

4. Hate speech.

I took offense to something, and some folks of long standing felt free to "take my inventory" without knowing me.

5. Things are bad Tyler...

But, my belief in people is still good.

Hang in there. :)

6. Don't you mean "It's getting REALLY SILLY out there (GD)"?

I can't take it seriously.

7. I thought I remembered you as more contentious than you now

are.

I can't remember if I agreed, disagreed or what-have-you, I just remember thinking you occasionally kicked over an anthill!

Which I myself did in GD when I first got here. Nowadays I just steer clear of the real message-board combat--even when something sets me off; the hotheaded posts rarely change opinions and just make enemies.

Sometimes it does take a lot of self-control to avoid posting in those threads, but usually only for a minute or so! :)

10. We all get tired.

Plus, the discouragement of roughly 37 years of banging one's head against the wall eventually leaves you a little dizzy.
What I need to do is stop STARTING them!!

8. I've hidden several threads over there

makes the browsing more pleasant and I'm not tempted to join the fray.

9. GD reminds me of my days as a bartender

and why I yearned to be a proctologist.

11. I just peeked in

Now I'm really scared.

People attacking each other over definite articles.
